H.G. Well's criticism of Streit's pamphlet
editHerbert George Wells has also criticized "Union Now" very thouroughly. In his book "The New World Order" (1940) he devoted the whole 7th chapter called "Federation" to Mr. Streit's pamphlet. It can be read on-line here:

Some better historical briefing needed.
editOrwell's criticism stems from the fact that Britain and France had huge colonies of downtrodden and exploited peoples. The Allies were only upholders of democracy if their "niggers" were discounted as human. Germany had missed out on rich colonies, and their few small colonies were annexed after WW1. Hitler (as was seen in 1939, and prior to any history of mass murder) was simply seen as doing the same sort of colonialism with the countries around Germany. The criticisms against Nazi Germany made by the the UK and France were a chronic double standard according to Orwell. The USA had been on the prowl for new colonies starting with the Spanish-American War which saw Cuba, the Philippines, etc pass into American control, and of course it was the final dell knell of the old colonial super master Spain. Thus an alliance with the USA would soon see the UK and France handing over their African and Indian colonies to a new owner.202.125.31.66 (talk) 11:05, 28 April 2017 (UTC)
